Consider that you, individually and personally, are the direct addressee of the Quraan. Though the Quraan has been received by you indirectly through persons, time and space, but let all these intermediaries recede and disappear for some moments and allow yourself to receive the Quraan as if it is talking directly to you, penetrating your heart and intellect. The very thought of such direct reception will keep your heart seized by what you are reading.
O you wrapped in garments (i.e. Prophet Muhammad
Sal
Allaho Alehe Wassallam)!
Stand (to pray) by night but not all night
Half of it, or a little less than that,
Or a little more; and recite the
Quraan (aloud) in a slow, (pleasant tone and) style .
